What does a beautiful life look like? 

For some it looks like having a dream vacation. For others it looks like having all the money one could ever spend. For still others, it is having the perfect body or look. 

According to the James, the writer of the New Testament document bearing his name, a beautiful life is seen by the fruit of good works done in humility that comes from a spiritual, divine wisdom.

In our study this Sunday, we'll examine James' instructions to 1st century followers of Jesus who are living by a kind of wisdom that is earthbound, unspiritual, and even devilish, and the fruit of such "wisdom" is not very pretty. 

So what is the connection between a beautiful life and what James calls "wisdom from above?" 

That's what we're going to talk about this in this study as together we apprentice with Jesus in a new way of being human.
